** While "Utopia" goes from a light color scheme to a dark one after achieving [[Xyz Evolution#Chaos Xyz Evolution|Chaos Xyz Evolution]], "Shark Drake" goes from a dark color scheme to a light one.
 
 
 
* This card could be considered the anime [[counterpart]] of "[[Bahamut Shark]]". Both are [[Rank]] 4 [[WATER]] Sea Serpent-Type Xyz Monsters that are [[ace monster]]s of [[Reginald Kastle|Shark]].
 
 
 
* This monster's head resembles the dorsal head of "[[Shark Caesar]]". Fittingly, both cards are owned by Shark.
 
 
 
* This monster has a similar color scheme as Shark's motorcycle.
